Fluorescent “light-up” bioprobes based on tetraphenylethylene derivatives with aggregation-induced emission characteristics

Abstract

Aggregation in poor solvents and complexation with calf thymus DNA and bovine serum albumin turn “on” the fluorescence of tetraphenylethylene derivatives, due to the restriction of intra-molecular rotations of the dyes in the aggregates and complexes.
